SAN ANTONIO — A man accused of killing a Papa John's pizza delivery driver while stealing his car last week is in police custody.

Robert Carlos Delcid, 35, was arrested Tuesday night at a hotel in the 900 block of Northeast Loop 410.

He faces a charge of capital murder.

Police say Delcid jumped into the car left running by William O'Neill, 46, as he delivered a pizza at an apartment complex in the 6000 block of De Zavala Road on July 2.

According to police, O'Neill tried to stop Delcid from driving away but was run over and later died of his injuries at University Hospital.

Members of the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force found a handgun Tuesday in Delcid's motel room. U.S. Marshals said he might face an additional charge of possessing a weapon as a felon.

"I am still in shock that someone can have so little respect for human life," said Robert R. Almonte, marshal for the Western District of Texas. "Delcid was definitely at the top of our fugitive list and I'm thankful that no one else was injured in the process of arresting him."
